God is not dead

God is not dead

yet

he lingers on

still

on extreme life support

in a painful persistent

vegetative state.

Why, why

no simple humanity

remains in the church‽

No one with bravery

No one who steps forward

No one who finally pulls the plug

while some small semblance of 

dignity

still remains to god

before all fades away to nothing

only leaving

shame and disgust

at the pile of filth

where it all ends

North Carolina Pride

North Carolinians were proud defenders of slavery.

North Carolinians were proud defenders of segregation.
Now those North Carolinians have something else to be proud of.

My Pride is of a different nature than theirs.

Passing on the left

The right one's out there
You just need to get past
The left one

There's a special place

There's a special place

on a shaded shelf

it has a sunny view

It's a silent place against the cliff

facing all heaven has new

Across the chasm

play on fields

in joy and love amused

all gods children in the past

who once were loving you

from time to time up they glance

and though the sun they see,

you in your shade - though there -

for them have ceased to be

There's a special place

in Hell

it's reserved just for you

with Love

If you have love
you have the possibility of everything

If you do not have love
you have the reality of nothing

Perspective

Despite your
belief that

you're universe' center

most of earth knows not you be
I plan to join that earth now

Good bye Irene Good bye Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Last Friday night, she blew into town,
stormy girl would not settle down,
Now me and Irene have parted,
I'll have to clean up G-Vegas round town

Some time she blew through the country,
Some time she blew through the town
Some time she took to the notion
Morpheus take up the river and drown

I love Irene, Devil knows why,
I'll love her till her winds blow dry
But if Irene should come back round,
I'd break down on my knees and cry

Stop blowin', stop winds throwin'
Stop screamin', threw the night
Go settle down on a mountain side
Leave us by our homeside bright

Irene good bye Irene good bye
Good bye Irene Good bye Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Quote of the Day : On Americans

"it is impossible for any mind of common honesty not to be revolted by the contradictions in their principles and practice."

Francis Trollope, Domestic Manners of the Americans Vol. II (London: Whittaker, Treacher & co, 1832) 12.

When the credit breaks

If they keep on fightin', credit's goin' to break,
If they keep on fightin', credit's goin' to break,
When the credit breaks the last jobs will go away

Mean politicians taught me to weep and moan,
Mean politicians taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to kick a workin' man from his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't they make you feel mad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way they go?
If you're goin' to DC
There's no good work they do,
If you don't know about Mexico.

Resolve won't help you, tryin' won't do you no good,
Now, workin' won't help you once the jobs are gone for good,
When the credit breaks, you and mama got to move.

All last month they screwed up the credit and moaned,
All last month they screwed up the credit and moaned,
Thinkin' about my baby and my foreclosed home.
Going, going to Mexico... Going to China... Sorry but I can't take you...
Ratein's down... credit down now... going down....

Hand me your stella and fly

You cheated yourself,
Like you knew you would
You knew you were in trouble
Now you're gone for good

Beware of loonies!

It Gets Better

It Gets Better

It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at those fools (though, I can complain)
Authority figures weren't cool (no, I won't complain)
They were holding me down (oh Oh)
Tried to turn me around (oh Oh)
Filling me up with their rules (Oooh)

I've got to admit it's getting better (better)
It's a little better all the time (can't get no verse)
I have to admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better
Since I don't mind

I used to be an angry young man
Was hiding my head in the sand
Supporters gave me the word, I finally heard
Out, Doing the best that I can! w00t!

I've got to admit it's getting better (bitter)
It's a little better all the time (it can't get no worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better
Since I made up my mind

Getting so much better all the time!

It's getting better all the time
Bitter, badder, better.
It's getting better all the time
Bitter, batter, better.

They used to be cruel to myself
Beat me and kept me apart from the ones that I loved
Man was so mean but the changes I've seen
Helps me doing the best that I can (ooh)

I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time (it can't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better, it's getting better
Since he's been mine

Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better
It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better

Gay marriage

I just don't understand people who are against gay marriage‽

Why would anyone want their marriage to be

depressed, discouraged, sad, unhappy, upset, and worried

instead of being

alert, animate, animated, blithe, blithesome, bouncy, brash, carefree, cheerful, cheery, chipper, chirpy, confident, convivial, devil-may-care, festive, forward, frivolous, frolicsome, fun-loving, gamesome, glad, gleeful, hilarious, insouciant, jocund, jolly, jovial, joyful, joyous, keen, lighthearted, lively, merry, mirthful, playful, pleasure-seeking, presuming, pushy, rollicking, self-assertive, sparkling, spirited, sportive, sprightly, sunny, vivacious, wild, and zippy

‽

I sure hope my marriage is always gay!

The Even Load

I will not try broad reach again,
I will not sale before the wind,
No more my place bereft of men
Earda's farm wi' men thinned

Butt I will sit beside the fire,
And there, to fill my heart's desire,
Put my hand between my thighs,
The last of all our youless he's

Quiet evening kept his tryst:
Beneath an open sky we rode,
And passed into a cloudy mist
Along the perfect even load.

The salt even load that needs
Met O's gush to near the sound
Of waters mingling in the Reids,
And binds my heart to share his ground.

A lovely river, all alone,
He lingers in the hills and holes
A hundred little scents of tone,
Are gotten in the best end roles.

Baba Zumbi

I never liked hip-hop.

Of all the hip-hop I've previously heard
since some time in the '70s
there were two songs I liked
and I've forgotten both of them.

Hip-hop, basically dance music, I always hated disco.

Current commercial hip-hop is basically misogynistic шitty disco with foul language and buggery thuggery attitude.

So, someone had to come along an' prove me completely wrong.

Here he is: Baba Zumbi & here Zion I Crew

No, I'm not saying he's sell-out commercial, I'm saying he's made music that's witty not шitty and I enjoy listening to.
Three of the first songs of his I've listened to gave me the spine-tingling-emotion thrill thing and off hand I can't think of any current musician that's done that.

AMoral Alphabet (excerpt)

D: The Dashing Danny Boy he
Will he do his best for D.
The early bird observed with awe
His back, glistening sweat he saw.
His look was gay, his voice was strong;
His tail was neither short nor long;
His trunk most elongated nose,
Was large enough I would suppose;
His teeth, as O. the Wilde allows
With tongue he covers like a cow's
He often liked and swished to pass
Long peaceful nights smoking' the Grass,
A splash of brute, mad love preferred
To pop in baths without a bird
His creature slimier than the snail
You see at once it will not fail
To joy gladly when he slid
And tumbled (as he nightly did).
Then leave off with the morning light
Returning home; served up just right.

MORAL
If you were born to walk the streets
Remain there; fool around.

E stands for Ego
